'Nashville' (Oct. 10; ABC)

ABC

The best reviewed of the new TV pack, and there are two words to explain that: Connie Britton. Honestly, we'd watch anything Mrs. Taylor is in. And the premise here is intriguing: An aging country singer (Britton plays Rayne James, which we're sure has nothing to do with a certain person named Reba) deals with falling popularity and is forced to open on tour with a no-talent, younger warbler (Hayden Panettiere). We can't wait to see these two go toe-to-toe -- or voice-to-voice. Hopefully grounding it away from melodrama is creator Callie Khouri, who won an Oscar for writing "Thelma & Louise."
